How long after a beer do you bf?

I haven't had a beer yet but I know eventually ill want one. I'm breastfeeding and pumping and do not want to pump and dump. How long do I wait after drinking one beer to breastfeed or pump? I know there is a general rule. Thanks in advance :)

There is NO need to wait. Here are the rules for breastfeeding and drinking: If you can drive, you can nurse. Okay, to put it in the easiest way I can, you would have to literally be dying of alcohol poisoning for your milk to have enough alcohol in it to negatively affect your baby. The only reason there is really a stipulation on it, is because it's stupid to be drunk and holding/caring for a baby.

The alcohol level in your milk is the same as your blood alcohol level. So, .08% is negligible in terms of intake. That'd be like drinking orange juice. Beer is like, 6% alcohol. So you're talking about 1/100th of a beer in your milk. Maternal blood alcohol levels must attain 300 mg/dl before significant side effects are reported in the infant. Reduction of letdown is apparently dose-dependent and requires alcohol consumption of 1.5 to 1.9 gm/kg body weight (6). .08 BAC = 80mg/dl so 300mg/dl = .3 BAC. .3 BAC can be lethal 300mg/dl for maternal levels mean that the mom is almost unconscious or dead. So, the risks of just parenting that drunk are higher than the risks of the baby drinking milk that's got an alcohol level of 300mg/dl.
